fine showers, making everythinglook

All these good things that the Lord

Wheat harvest is now on hand and
most farmers are very much con-
cerned and interested in taking care
of the cereal that most of us regard as
the the great stay and staffof life.
We are glad to note that the people
are being gradually educated to tenn
perance and the Bible. What a bless
ing it will be when truth and right
eousness shall overcome error, dark
ness and delusion, when knowledge
shall cover the whole land as waters
do the sea. Should not every good,
sober, honest Christian man and wo-
man pray and work to accomplish
such a grand end as this? The way
to bring about such ends as these is
for everyone to abandon the wrong
and walk in the right, and what is to
prevent? Rev. Sam Jones seems to
be throwing hot shot into the whis-
key camp heavily. Every Christian
all over this broad and fertile State
ought to declare for temperance. The
way to do this is to practice and cult
vate the things that bring such hap
py results. Don't put tie bottle to
your neighbours mouth and claim
that you are a lover of temperance.

In returning thanks to you for my mir

make a trial of the wonderful CUTICURA
REMEDIES.
At the age of three months a rash made
its appearance on my face. A physician
was called, be said teething was the cause,
he prescribed some cooling medicine, but
the sores spread to my ears and head.
Another NJ. D. was called. He professed to
know all about the case, called it "King's
Evil" and prescribed gunpowder, birthstone
and lard, mixed into a salve, but the disease
continued. They could not do anything
with it. Another prescribed borax water
and flour another linseed poultices. None
of them did me any good at all, but made
me worse. The disease continued undated:
it spread to my arms and legs, till I.was
laid up entirely, and from continued sitting
on the floor on a pillow my limbs contracted
so that | lost all control of them, and was
utterly helpless. My mother would have to
lift me out and into bed. l could get
around the house on my hands and feet, but
| could not get my clothes on at all, and
had to wear a sort of dressing gown. My
hair had all matted down or fallen off, and
my head, face and ears were one scab, and
| had to have a towel on my head all the
time in the summer to keep the flies off. My
parents consulted a prominent physician
and surgeon here in Chicago (the other
physicians before mentioned were of Dun.
das and Hamilton, Canada), he said he
could do nothing for me, that the chances
were that would grow out of it, or that il
would strike inwardly and kill me in time,
He wanted to cut the sinews of my legs Sc

for if | did get better / would have no con

This disease continued in this manner

day in January, 1879, in the Chicago Trib
une, | read an account Of your medicines

BILE; either in their milk or butter, if
they have daily access to salt. OF all
root crops the Ruta Baga is the least
exhausting, occupies the ground the
shortest time, is cultivated with the
least expense, is saved with the least
care, andi is said to make the greatest
return in food for animals.
The season for sowing is from the
25th of June to 9Th of July. The crop
inay be sOwn broadcast or with a
drilling machine, which reduces the
expense Of subsequent cleaning and
thinning. The plants should be thin
ned to eight or ten inches as soon as
they show their second or third pair
of leaves, and it is important to have
the first wedding performed early, as
this not only benefits the crop, but
saves subsequent labor. The imple-
ments best adapted to the turnip cul-
ture are the cultivator or horse hoe
and turnip hand hoe. The first is
passed between the drills as soon as
the plants show their second pair of
leaves, and may be repeated at in
tervals with little expense and mani
fest advantage. 1t destroys the
weeds if applied in time, except on
q strip of two or three inches where
the plants grow, pulverizes the sur
face, and renders the soil permeable
to atmospheric and solar influences.
The operation of cleaning is finished
with the hand hoe, the cutting part
of which may be likened to the blade
of a thin case knife, the two extremi-
ties of which r drawn out, turned
up, united, and form the shank to at
attach the hoe to the handle. The
advantages of this hoe are that itdoes
not gather the dirt and weeds, and
may be drawn along the drills as far
as the arms extend without being
raised, and across the drill, between
the plants to be retained, and almost
supersedes hand wedding. Two
cleanings with the hoe generally suf-
flee.
Gathering the crop is performed
with the greatest economy of labor,
by drawing the turnips by hand and
laying them separately across the
drills, the roots Of two adjoining rows
towards each other, rnd then with a
heavy knife, bill-hook or like imple-
ments, strike off the tops with a blow
as they lay, whichis managed with
great expedition. The roots are first
gathered and taken to the cellar, and
the tops, which are abundant, are
then raked into small heaps, apd
taken to the yard for the farm stock
as they are wanted.

clinton coun,y,s Murder Trial.


The Colby murder trial was held at Lock
Haven. Clinton county, last week. Luther
j. Shaffer, former resident of the county,
vas arraigned as the perpetrator OF the
horrible deed. A man named johnson, and
James Kline and Essie Kline, are also &C
cused OF the murder. On motion 1t was
directed that each should be tried separate
ly. Luther j. Shaffer was the first chosen
for trial A chain Of circumstantial evil
dence was brought to bear upon the case.
II was 80 well woven that not a link seemed
TO be missing and the stearn hand Of the
law was slowly entionng about tbecriminal.
After the evidence was all In the attorneys
for Sbaffer offered to prove by certain wit
nesses what shoes Shaffer wore, the loca-
tion Of q gun, &c. The Commonwealth
stated that these were irrelevant and the
judge so decided. Hence no witnesses
were called in defense. After the argu-
ments OF the attorneys and the charge OF
Judge Mayer, the jury, being out about
one hour, brought in a verdict of guilty.
The trial was in progress during the entire
week and occasioned considerable of ex.
citcment; the Court House being crowded,
The crime for which Scatter is to be
hanged was committed Saturday, August
y, 1887. The victims were Josiah Colby
and Nora Colby. They lived in a remote
place in linton county. About six O'Clock
Saturday evening, August @, Mrs. Colby
was seen washing some white
clothes at run near the house.
Monday Mr.. and Mrs. Colby were found
both dead and decomposed, lying along
the run. Mrs. Colby had all the clothing
torn from her. In the house was child
about four and half years old and baby
which had evidently been left to starve.
The testimony of the witnesses for the
Commonwealth revealed the most fiendish
crime ever committed. There seems TO
have been no doubt that the guilty party is
secured and that justice will be avenged.
A motion for new trial was heard Mon
day, December 12, but Judge Mayer re-
fused 1t and then pronounced the death
sentence. The other three who are held
for trial will be given hearing some time
in January, when it is expected that some
revelations will be made.
